California Defrauded the US Government for Millions to Provide Phone and Internet Service for Their Most Reliable Democrat Voters

I speak, of course, about the dead.

Note that the program they afforded allowed them to either allow the US government to verify the claims made, or else California could opt out of this federal verification and do the verification themselves.

California chose to do its own verification.

And then provided phone and internet service for almost 100,000 dead people.

California obtained millions in federal funds to cover phone and internet service for 94,000 dead people, a new report from the Federal Communications Commission has revealed.

The state took in $3.8 million between 2020 and 2025 through the federal Lifeline program, which spends nearly $1 billion annually to subsidize phone and internet service for low-income Americans, according to the FCC's inspector general.

Of the three states named in the report, California collected the most money by a long shot -- accounting for more than 80% of the payments, the report said.

"Gavin Newsom's California was by far the worst offender of these opt-out states," FCC Chair Brendan Carr wrote on X, referencing states that oversaw the program's verification process for recipients. He said that the FCC has revoked the state's authority to manage verification.

Newsom's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Of the 116,808 deceased individuals in opt-out states, roughly two-thirds (77,446) were enrolled after their deaths, the report stated.

It's almost as if the Democrat Party no longer votes for billion-dollar boondoggles for the poor, but billion dollar boondoggles to personally enrich themselves and their billionaire donors.
